Bears over Raiders X2

Couldn't be prouder of our Bears as we shut down the Tech Red Raiders yesterday with a 52-45 win!  All my side of the family is from Lubbock, so you can imagine the Raider blood in most of my family...except for my Sis and I.  We were driving home as the game was going on, so we watched the game after the kids went to bed.  Man, what a game!  It started a little slow, but we never lost faith that our boys would pull it out.  Second half was a nail biter, and kept us screaming on the edge of the couch...but we were glad it turned our way in the end.  This win makes our #6 win of the season and qualifies us for a bowl game!  There is talk we may be asked to the "Heart of Dallas" Bowl, which would be perfect for us!  I put some comments below from our Baylor Proud Link in case anyone missed the game and need highlights...hehehe!  One more game left of the season..."Rip 'em up, Tear 'em up, Sic 'em BU!"


"With RG3 on the sidelines cheering on his former teammates, Baylor football claimed a thrilling overtime victory versus Texas Tech on Saturday at Cowboys Stadium, 52-45.  After falling behind 21-7 in the first half, the Bears battled back to take their first lead of the game at 35-31 early in the fourth quarter on a 55-yard interception return -- one of four turnovers forced by Baylor's defense on the day. The Bears and Red Raiders then traded leads three more times before a BU field goal tied things up with less than three minutes to go.  Baylor scored first in overtime, then batted away a fourth-down Red Raider pass to end the game and give BU its second-straight win over Texas Tech.

The Bears will go for win No. 7 next Saturday (Dec. 1) against No. 21 Oklahoma State at Floyd Casey Stadium; the game is set for 11 a.m. on FX. A victory would give Baylor three straight seasons of 7+ wins -- something the program hasn't seen since 1949-50-51."
